ASHES FOR CLOVER AND SANDY
soIL.-Iu seeding sandy land to grass,
a top dressing of wood ashes helps to
secure good catch of grass, especially
of clover. One of the most profitable
ways of applying ashes is sowing them
broadcast over newly seeded ground.

KEEP THE YOUNG TREES THRIFTY.
A good test of the thriftiness of a
young tree is the length of new growth
it makes each year. If the new shoots
grow ten or fifteen inches each year, it
needs NJ increase Of fertility nor cul-
ture. If the growth is less than that,
something is needed in the way Of fer
tilizers or culture to increase its growth
and vigor.

Sunday afternoon, having made . stay
Of just q week. The reason Of their pro.
=longed stay was to enable the Second
Regiment to participate in the competi-
ton drill. The drill took place Thurs.
day and the boys are quite confident Of
having taken first place. The announce
ment of the successful regiment has not
yet been made. The boys come back ii
very good shape after their week ofsand
get back to their work withou. much
trouble. They are enthusiastic over their
trip and will carry memories OF, the
sights and SCIENCES Of Chicago to last
them long time. President Cleveland
did not seem to have much time for the
boys, they say. Sat in hack ten rods
away for four minutes and half, Z
On the whole the boys seem to have
had very pleasant time. Cane they
ever 60 again is the question. z

"a ailo, as understood ID Wisconsin, Is 8
receptacle or robin for preserving green
fodder in its natural state, which is called

necessary in building q silo, namely
must be air tight and frost proof. Other
wise the contents instead Of remaining
fresh and sweet as when harvested, will
ferment. decay and become utterly
worthless. Great advantages are claim
ed for the use Of ensilage over dry fod.
der, among which are. economy IN harv-
esting, excellence as food and superior
milk-producing qualities. The average
cost when placed in the silo is said to be
about 81 40 per ton. OF series Of ex-
periments made at the state experiment

annual report: Thirteen rows Of fodder
